BOULDER — Seniors Chidobe Awuzie and Sefo Liufau were named the University of Colorado football team's 2016 Most Valuable Players, highlighting the team's annual senior banquet Sunday morning in the Touchdown Club Room inside the Dal Ward Athletic Center at Folsom Field.
It's the ninth time since the inception of the award in 1959 that it has been shared by two players, but the first time since the 2000 season.
Awuzie is one of the most versatile players in the program's recent history, having played all three secondary positions – cornerback, safety and nickel back – along with some spot play at outside linebacker in certain schemes.
